Steve Cortes, founder of the League of American Workers (LAW), said today that North Carolina U.S. Sens. Ted Budd (R) and Thom Tillis (R) “take their duty seriously” by voting in favor of a measure that would prohibit illegal aliens from being factored into the count for apportionment of congressional districts and the Electoral College map. 

“Good for Senators Budd and Tilllis who take their duty seriously, and answer to their bosses, the American citizens of North Carolina," Cortes told Old North News. "It’s time to deport illegal aliens, not reward them with political benefits.”

The measure, introduced by U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) was introduced as an amendment to H.R. 4366, Consolidated Appropriations Act, and was voted down on a vote of 45-51. 

Unlike Budd and Tillis, every U.S. Senate Democrat, other than Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who did not vote, voted to kill the measure, reported the Grand Canyon Times.

Hagerty said in a statement that, "Democrats’ unanimous opposition to this commonsense measure confirms that they’re using illegal aliens and sanctuary cities to increase their political power.” 

Cortes is a political advisor and commentator. He previously traded global currencies and interest rates for 25 years for large international hedge funds. He has been an on-air broadcaster for CNBC, Fox News, and CNN. Cortes founded LAW in 2022 to conduct research and develops proposals on public policies impacting American workers and the economy.
